What
kind of equipment do you use?
We use only professional state-of-the-art disc jockey equipment.
We also use cd players and wireless microphones. Our set-ups are
very attractive and unobtrusive.
Once
a contract is signed can you change the event date?
We accept changes in event dates provided the new date is available.
There is no extra cost to you! Beware of disc jockey services that
may charge you extra to change the date.
Once
a contract is signed can we cancel?
We know plans can change. If you have to cancel, we’ll hold
your deposit as a credit towards a future event no matter when it
is.
Are
some of your Disc Jockeys better than others?
The equipment we use is virtually identical and we use the same
music library. Each DJ has been trained in the same manner, so their
performances are very similar. We’ll customize your wedding
reception to your needs.
Can
we see you perform?
Yes, just call the office and talk to our bridal planner so that
we can arrange for you to view us at a wedding reception.
Do
you charge for travel or setup?
Not at all, our price is all inclusive.
Can
the DJ stay longer?
We love a good party, for evening events it’s never a problem.
For daytime events, we suggest booking the DJ ahead of time (we
may have an evening event afterwards)
How
much do you help to coordinate events?
We have found over the years that many events need a little guidance.
We help to "host" the event by working with your caterer,
photographers, or other professionals to keep all your guests entertained
and involved.
When
do you arrive for the reception?
We’ll be there to setup about an hour in advance. It only
takes about 15 minutes to set up our equipment, so in the unlikely
event of any technical problems, we can solve them well before the
start of your wedding reception.
Can
you play music for the ceremony?
We are often asked to supply ceremony music, all you have to do
is schedule us to play for that time. We suggest scheduling us to
start 15 minutes before the ceremony time. Also, there is a small
fee if the sound systems needs to be moved to another location.
Can
you play music to entertain all our guests?
That's exactly what we do! We all have the ability to "read
a crowd" and will select a mix of music that will touch upon
everyone there. We’ll have music with us for every generation.
Do
you play requests?
You bet. We’ll give you a list of the most popular music we
bring with us to every event. Many people will highlight their favorite
selections and cross out those that they don’t care for.
Do
you provide special requests?
We'll try to get it (and we rarely fail!) If you ask us for it,
there’s a very good chance that someone else has asked for
it before. If you like, you can also supply anything specific that
you already own.
Do
you take breaks?
No.
Do
I have to provide the DJ a meal?
It’s not necessary. We know that that additional meal is going
to be pricey. If you offer it we’ll accept, but don’t
feel obligated.
What
will the DJ wear?
Tuxedo is our standard attire for a wedding. Just let us know if
you want us to dress otherwise. We've done luau weddings, renaissance
weddings, halloween weddings... you get the picture.
How
much will you use the microphone?
We try not to overdo it. We feel your guests are not interested
in hearing our disc jockey "ham it up" over the microphone.
While we make all the announcements with our microphone, it is not
uncommon to see us out among your guests encouraging requests.
Can
you provide lighting effects if we need it?
Sure, and at very little extra cost for a basic light show.. If
requested, we can supply many different effects. We've been the
sound and lighting supplier for most of the big radio station parties
in the area including the Kiss 95.7 Boo Bash the last 4 years.
Do
you have back-up equipment?
Yes. We have a complete backup system available for every event!
Will
your DJ drink at our event?
No way. It’s against our company policy.
What
if our Disc Jockey gets sick or has an accident?
We always have equipment and DJs in reserve just in case of illness
or something unforeseen. We realize how important we are to the
success of your event and we are very careful not to take any chances.
Are
there any taxes?
No. DJ services are not subject to sales tax.
How
much does it cost to Rent-a-DJ?
It can vary, it's best to call or email with your date, times and
location. A general guideline would be $475-$775 for 5 hours.
That's
quite a range, can't you narrow it down without me writing or calling?
Well, the best I can say is that Saturdays are most likely $575
or $675 for 5 hours and $100 per hour after that (subtract $100
for a 4 hour reception). Fridays and Sundays are more than likely
$475-$575. If you want better than that you'll have to call!
Why
are you so cheap?
We aren't cheap, but I'll also say that many of our competitors
are over-priced. Their cds are the same as ours and our equipment
is as good. Our DJs likely have more experience. I guess the difference
is that they want to do 1-2 gigs in a weekend and make a lot of
money. We don't look to make a lot of money off of any single event.
Why
are you so expensive?
You just can't win sometimes, I hear both of these questions....
A DJ is going to be one of the least expensive things at your wedding
reception (and have the biggest impact!). Truly, how much will your
cake or flowers cost, what will be more remembered a week or month
after the reception? The cake or the DJ?
Do
I tip the DJ?
That’s up to you. If you feel the DJ does a great job, you
may tip the DJ.
I've
spent a lot of time reading all of this, you have a hint as to how
much?
sure... 5-10% of the total amount charged would be very generous.
How
far in advance do we need to book?
Most people book their DJ from 4-6 months or more in advance.. However,
on many occasions we book dates just a few of weeks ahead of time.
Can
we use a credit card to pay for your services?
Yes. We currently accept Discover, American Express, Visa, and Mastercard.
We
want to book you. What do we do next?
We will send you a packet of information upon request. A copy of
our contract is included. Simply sign and return it with your deposit,
or give us a call to hold your date.
I
love the website. Who made it?
